AVX Vs. ProV1

What’s the most optimal way to get fitted for a ball? I’ve always played either a pro v1 or x, but other than knowing the basic differences couldn’t really tell you why I prefer one or the other. Feel like it’s time to nail that down.

Start with the on-line ball fitting questionnaire but ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what is most important to you to play your best. For me, it was the need for maximum spin to gain height in my irons and less roll out on the greens. For others, it might be softer feel or longer roll out on their drives. The best way to decide is to take a few of each model on the course and play them side by side. After a round or two you should be able to pick the one that gives you the results you are looking for. Make your choice based on overall play, not just driver distance. It's about the ball that allows you to post the best scores. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

Here is the Titleist link to golf ball fittings. Maybe you can find on in your area. Found this under fittings above. Hope this helps.

Carter,

If you want to lower that launch, then yes avx would be great. Just be cautious because if you value having spin in your game, then avx might not be the best due to the low spin profile on that ball. ProV1 is always a great baseline with it being a mid launch ball and a mid spin ball. The 2025 ProV1 also had more spin than the previous module while keeping the mid launch! Hope this helped!

The AVX is no longer a premium ball and no longer made in the premium ball plant

Latest gen avx spins like mad.... it's all in how you hit it... for me club longer for sure and nice launch window. Straighter shots... and several that fall and stop almost on the spot. Try a sleeve and see. I love em and for me they are the best This pic I posted I got 8" backspin almost to a hole in one. Unreal ball (for me)

I love the feel of the AVX and its my go to ball with the prov1 a second choice - just suits my game well (8.9 HCP) and short game is a strength and I have no issues stopping on greens, but thats related to me and my game

Grab a sleeve and enjoy the testing!!

I tried the AVX, didn’t see that much of a difference so went back to Prov

Recently moved to the Low Country and have played more rounds in the past 6 weeks than last 6 years. I did ever ball quiz and then “consulted” ChatGPT and Claude with swing and ball speed, trajectory and decent angles, club distances and the course I play as we experience 2 club winds regularly. I’ve dropped from an 18 to a 11 in 20 rounds… lots of info but the AVX was always the suggestion - given a lower driver trajectory and wind. I’ve found them a good ball to play but expect to switch to the ProV1x or dash as the AVX doesn’t always hold the green even with a steep decent.

Again off the tee and 4 & 5 irons awesome but hitting greens from 190-170 (7&8 iron) holding has been inconsistent with roll offs

There are a lot of variable factors that can be overlooked in subjectively selecting a ball - or for that matter a putter. Getting fit for either can help optimize the choice with data.
There are zero pros using AVX and they hit it higher and further than the average golfer. In the course of a ball fitting, the data may show if the height is hurting your distance. At 105 club head speed, it may feel too soft. These are factors a ball fitting can cover.
AVX has a market in slow and moderate swing speeds. With a lower descent it tends to roll out more with irons. Whatever feature fits your game is the best choice.
